Another 83 young turtles were recently released at the world-famous Boracay Island in Malay town, Aklan province.
ILOILO CITY — “The recording of turtle species laying eggs in the island of Boracay is a visible proof of the richness of the marine ecosystem and water resources around the island,” said Livino Duran, Department of Environment and Natural Resources regional executive director for Western Visayas.
The DENR-Boracay’s Community Environment and Natural Resources Office and the Boracay New Coast facilitated the release of the healthy 83 young Olive Ridleys. Since the massive government rehabilitation of the resort island in 2018, the DENR-6 and its private partners have been partnering to take initiatives in boosting environmental conservation.
Duran also reminded the public to be more cautious in dealing with marine animals and other living creatures. “After the recent arrest of poachers found violating the Wildlife Conservation Act in Sulu, the DENR-6 is intensifying the need to educate the public and guard this beautiful marine creature and other creatures found in land, air and water,” added Duran.
